CALIFORNIA ISO SUMMARY, DISCUSSION AND COMMENTARY For the quarter ended June 30, 2017 Results of Operations Revenues Through the second quarter ending June 30, 2017, operating revenues were higher by $1.9 million compared to the budgeted amounts. The overall increase in revenues was primarily due to higher other revenues of $1.7 million, due to higher than planned EIM administrative charges and forecasting fees. Additionally, GMC revenues were slightly higher by $0.2 million. The Company monitors changes in GMC revenues and will adjust rates, if necessary, to align actual GMC revenues closer to budget, as required by the Tariff. Expenses Operating expenses are $6.6 million under budget through the second quarter of the year, largely due to timing of expenses. Interest income and other are higher than budget through the second quarter due to higher interest rates. Material Changes to Assets and Liabilities Debt service, market collateral transactions, incentive compensation payouts and annual 401k contributions were the primary contributors to the changes in company assets and liabilities during the the first half of the year. Capital Projects Through the end of the second quarter of 2017, $11.4 million in projects were approved by the Corporate Management Committee. These projects will enhance the current systems' performance and effectiveness in meeting future challenges and FERC mandates. Collateral Held Report As of July 12, 2017, the ISO maintained $1.7 billion in collateral from market participants to support $263.1 million in aggregate liabilities due in the market. Approximately $1.4 billion of the collateral is from unsecured sources (i.e., unsecured credit limits and parent guarantees) with investment grade or equivalent ratings, and $393.4 million is from secured forms (i.e., cash and letters of credit). This collateral is predominantly invested in AAA-rated government money market funds or backed by A-rated or better financial institutions. Page i Finance and Accounting 7/14/17
